Back in August, we happened upon a photo from an underground supper club called Wolvesden. The blogs were already raving about these secret dinners, and in October, we had the opportunity to dine at one ourselves. There were thirteen of us there that night, with each person bringing bottles of......

Spaghetti seems to elicit fairly strong opinions. Kids almost universally love it, while some adults seem to look down on it, as if it were a lower-class, or infantile pasta shape -- and far inferior to, say, pappardelle. But spaghetti, let's face it, is a pretty lovely thing. Scott Conant,......

In part 1 of our interview with Scarpetta chef Scott Conant, we discussed his youth; how rejection from a plumbing program lead him to the life of a chef; what it felt like to get that first three-star review in The New York Times; and why Scarpetta was raided by......

Right now, Scott Conant is one of our country's biggest names in Italian cooking. Conant's flagship restaurant, Scarpetta, just opened its fourth location in late October, at the Montage Beverly Hills. The 39-year-old chef is also a popular television personality, working as a judge on Food Network's Chopped, and as......

We had planned on trying two different versions of the Old Fashioned, from two different bars, and pitting the cocktails against each other. We were going to crack a few pithy jokes, maybe throw in some Don Draper references, and in the end, declare a victor. You see, we've had......

Some of us feel that all tacos, no matter how delicious, should never cost more than a dollar. Others feel that one dollar tacos are an abomination against the gastrointestinal tract, and that they should cost more money, use higher-quality ingredients, and come equipped with valet parking. Extremists may never......

The Roi Choi empire continues to expand. The Kogi mastermind, who also opened Chego back in April, debuted his newest venture last week, A-frame. The hyper-casual Culver City restaurant took over a former International House of Pancakes, incorporating the signature sloped roofline (hence the name "A-frame"). Choi opened A-frame with......

UPDATE: Since Proposition 19's defeat on Tuesday, we checked in with Animal chef Jon Shook to get his take. Shook told us, "I personally feel like if we couldn't pass gay marriage, and we were able to pass Prop 19, then we are a fucked up state." (This article was......
